And now that we know that Matt is withdrawing his bed, he hopefully will disappear into the woodwork instead of trying to be into politics. One down, like 40 to go

The Democrats can put this into the public record, so it's not just the GOP. Wild pushed this out 2 weeks to even look at. They don't care

Oh the poor rich people. They're going to have to deal with the fact that they caught affluenza

All right, time to see what TF Tmurp is up to... #IDon'tWantToLook

Good news for people doomscrolling on the immigration issue.

Also, note that the incoming Governor for Washington State is Bob Ferguson, who ran many successful lawsuits and other blockers against Tmurp's EOs the last go around.

All of Trump's pics are problematic. His best one is Chris Wright and he's an oil fracking CEO.

This is how you write a headline in this situation.

Take notes @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @npr.org

The NRC is a great organization -- if you have concerns about who to donate to, and don't know how to do it directly, they are a great alternative.

@laurelwams.bsky.social you had 1 job and failed that

That's a difficult task, though, because you would need to find someone around @npr.org who has the functions of investigating, analyzing, and researching issues.

They really lack direction. They love to "both sides" everything -- fallacious at best

They are competency-washing cowards

The reasons to dislike these men are robustly reasonable, and you should question anyone who wants to side-swipe or dodge the questions of accountability for these total nincompoops." kind of issue!

Please grow a spine @npr.org

It's a "the people Trump are picking are absolutely a scourge to the freedom and security of our Nation. His picks are beyond just swamp creatures; they are reliably bigoted, stupid, easily manipulated, unscrupulous and more.

Hey dood -- why the fuck are you not allowing comments on this one?
NPR has a white-washing problem, ESPECIALLY in how they talk about the cabinet members. It's not just a "many of them are controversial" type of issue.

He also looks skeptical about your motives, as if to dare you to try again until you have mastered the art.

So, It looks like I should work on also describing the expression and emotions of the scene, as well as colors and other setting elements. Also, I've been told that Easter Eggs / secret information are welcome and appreciated, and don't forget that you can put long links in there, too :)

It should alarm you, too, but you won't fucking stand up for yourselves.

You are still "both-sides"ing the issue. Stop doing this. Trump and the Republicans (YES EVERY LAST ONE) are fucking terrible people, and you should be asking REAL questions that expose their lack of accountability. You are able to do this, RIGHT NPR???

I guess that still falls in line with Roberts and the Tmurpists being more on the "stupid" side worse than they are on the "evil" side. Sure, they're definitely evil, but they're WAY dumber and the policies and actions they do will reflect that

I bet the editors don't even realize the "two sides to every story" thing is literally fallacious thinking.

Trump picks Brendan Carr as FCC chairman Carr vowed to take on β€œcensorship” by Big Tech companies in Project 2025, which laid out a conservative agenda for Donald Trump’s second term.

Carr is an absolute nightmare for freedom of access of information. He is everything that is wrong with a Republican nanny-state government

When he says that he wants to "take on censorship" what he means is that he wants to do more censorship.

Seeing how NPR is competency-washing his cabinet picks, I don't expect much from them or the rest of the corporate media outlets.

Remember to apply Hanlon's razor for Trump in particular. Not that one should dismiss malice or ill intent, but the actual choices made are primarily done through a lens of not understanding how anything works

It's also there to protect the kids way more than the adults. The whole point is the prevention of disease in vulnerable people.

Yeah, but then politicians would have to stop hiding and lying so much. THINK OF THE LOBBIES!!
